Particleboard is a wood based composite extensively used in wood working. Drilling is the most commonly used machining process in furniture industries. The surface characteristics and the damage free drilling are significantly influenced by the machining parameters. The thrust force developed during drilling plays a major role in gaining the surface quality and minimizing the delamination tendency. In this study eighteen durability tests of tools for different values of the analyzed cutting parameters were carried out. Based on the obtained results, the effect of cutting parameters of selected signals of axial force and cutting torque was found. Mathematical models using ANOVA, allowing to estimate the value of cutting forces was proposed.

Płyta wiórowa jest kompozytem, którego podstawowym składnikiem jest drewno. Ma szerokie zastosowanie w przemyśle. Proces wiercenia to najpopularniejszy proces obróbki stosowany w przemyśle meblarskim. Siła osiowa i moment skrawania występujące podczas procesu wiercenia odgrywają ważną rolę w uzyskaniu odpowiedniej jakości powierzchni. W przeprowadzonych badaniach wykonano osiemnaście prób trwałościowych narzędzia dla różnych wartości analizowanych parametrów skrawania. Na podstawie wyników uzyskanych z przeprowadzonych badań określono wpływ wybranych parametrów skrawania oraz zużycia narzędzia na wartość siły osiowej i momentu skrawania. Zaproponowano modele matematyczne, wykorzystując analizę wariancji ANOVA, pozwalające oszacować opory skrawania.

  • Abstract 
  • Wood decay associated with wounding in 40 trees of Parashorea malaanonan growing in Ulu Segama Forest Reserve, Sabah, Malaysia, was estimated 7 years after logging in compartments where reduced-impact (RIL) or conventional (CL) logging methods were used. Trees of ≥30 cm diameter were felled and dissected to determine the volume of log occupied by decay. Scrapes were the most common types of wounds sampled, followed by basal wounds, broken tops or branches and butt log wounds. All wounded trees examined had decay, whereas only 25% of trees ×30 cm diameter at breast height of this species in the reserve typically had stem decay. Median defect to gross volume of tree was ∼5%, and was similar for trees in RIL and CL areas. However, defect volume per wound was greater in trees from CL areas relative to RIL areas, in particular, mid-bole wounds had greater defect volume in trees in CL areas as opposed to trees in RIL areas. The mean rate of decay was estimated at 68 cm3 of timber per year for each cm2 of wound area. Defect volume was positively correlated with wound size but was unrelated to tree size. P. malaanonan is vulnerable to wood decay following wounding; therefore, in eastern Sabah forests, where this species comprises a large proportion of the commercial volume, efforts to reduce incidental damage to residual stems during harvesting operations are an important component in protecting the growing stock.

    Abstract:      

    Sarawak, being the largest state in Malaysia, is a major producer of tropical timber and timber products in the world. However, despite being blessed with abundant timber resources, it has a relatively small wooden furniture manufacturing industry, with insignificant exports compared with other timber-exporting countries. The present study sets up to identify the possible impediments to the growth of the furniture industry. Qualitative data was collected from different stakeholders of the furniture manufacturing industry via unstructured in-depth interviews. Using Porter’s Diamond of National Advantage framework, different problems and challenges posed by factor conditions, related and supporting industries, demand conditions, firm strategy and government were analyzed. Factor conditions concern the supply and productivity of factors of production. Sarawak furniture manufacturers face a shortage of timber supplies, higher transportation and utility costs, shortage of skilled manpower and difficulty in securing financing for business expansion. These have undermined the competitiveness of the manufacturers, relative to their counterparts in Peninsular Malaysia. Supporting industries are underdeveloped, resulting in poor supply chain integration. Most upstream timber producers are geared towards the export markets while furniture component parts have to be imported. The domestic furniture market is small and thus could not sustain the industry on a large scale. Consequently, furniture manufacturers lack sufficient capital and scale economies to adopt new manufacturing technologies. The problems faced by furniture manufacturers are further compounded by rigid government policies and cumbersome bureaucratic processes, many of which have disadvantaged small furniture manufacturers. Anti-tropical timber campaigns in importing countries pose a further threat to the export viability of Sarawak wooden furniture. The paper ends with a discussion of the role that the state government can play in facilitating the growth of the industry. It distinguishes between the neoliberal and structuralist perspectives of government intervention, highlighting the absence of studies on the development of tertiary wood-processing industries in the state.
